Highland charity offers taster health walks

SOIRBHEAS, the community charity of Glen Urquhart and Strathglass, is keen to encourage others to recognise the benefit of walking and hope to establish a Health Walk group in Drumnadrochit.
We all know we should take more exercise but sometimes we just need a bit of encouragement to start us on the right path! With this in mind Soirbheas has organised two ‘taster’ Health Walks to take place in October, to help encourage local interest. The walks will take approximately 30-45 minutes and will be suitable for all abilities.
